Description timgstewart 2014-04-30 00:12:30 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0 (Build 201403101706)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_05
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.5-b02

I have a simple base class which provides a static void main method as a launcher for runtime verification tests.  Each class extending that base class should be runnable since the public static void main method is inherited.  However, child classes do not show up as runnable and the Run File - Shift F6 method is disabled.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
